    AB21805 It sounds like you might be used to working with SharePoint classic webparts rather than modern. Check out this list of webparts to find their comparable one in modern. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/classic-and-modern-web-part-experiences-3fdae6c3-8fc1-49ab-8708-8c104b882e64

    For the My Profile, use the People webpart, and set it to [me] or enter the name of the person. 

    It may not return the right information if that has not been setup properly by your Global Admin. You'll need to work with them to populate the correct information. 

    For Promoted Links - use Quick Links, Link, or you can also now easily add links to image webparts etc. Pretty slick.
